ok thanks, i thought that it was strange that the nexus s is only hspa and figured maybe all gsm galaxy s models could do hspa+ and that they would wait a wile to add it to the nexus s as to not devalue the vibrant. but i guess that dream was just killed.

Vibrant 3G uses Infineon HSPA cellular modem chip.

(Infineon sold its wireless group to Intel in Dec 2010, Samsung's archenemy)

Vibrant 4G uses ST-Ericsson's M5730 HSPA+ modem chip.

Totally different RF modem.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kassemalaa:
so i got my desire hd yesterday, i'm pretty satisfied with it so far... rooted it as soon as i got it out of ted to the box! but i've hit a major problem, i wanted to flash CM7 or MIUI or custom kernels, which i managed to do, but unfortunately, sound doesn't want to play on any rom other than the stock telus rom :mad: so i have a couple of questions and hoping to find answers:

1.what is causing this?

2.is there anything that can be done about that?

thanlks!

So this thoughts arises with the fact I am having trouble with my sfc2.6 ebo1. FCs etc. I have wiped and I want to totally want to start fresh so I am thinking about doing an Odin and start over.

So first...is an Odin flash the "ultimate wipe"

If so why don't developers package .tar files of their roms for those of us that want to, say flash kaos' cm7 v6 when it drops, we could just Odin everything needed to start fresh (kernel etc) and wouldn't have to worry about wiping.

Is this a good idea?

Is it harder to supply .tar files for odin than zips for cwm?

Love to hear some feedback.

I thought the same thing, i had a bad experience with cw, but i love odin... like the all in one eb01, that worked sweet, i wish all roms could be setup like that. I would definitely be trying more things if i could always use odin.

[Fascinate General] bhfd64:
From what I can see, the all in one .tar method is somewhat new. It's being incorporated more and more with each ROM release. I don't think an all in one Odin package existed prior to the DL30 leak, so I'd bet that this will eventually be the case.
[Fascinate General] sneakysolidbake:
Actually they're nothing new. There's an all in one DI01 package that's been around for quite a while now, among others I'm sure.
[Fascinate General] Mean Sixteen:
exactly my point.

Why not when adryn releases sc2.7 why not release a regular zip and an all complete .tar?

[Fascinate General] Thrillhouse847:
I can't speak for everyone but I personally wouldn't want an Odin flashable file becauase I don't want to have to be tied to my computer all the time in order to flash roms. I like to download/flash on the go, and CWR allows me to do this.
[Fascinate General] Mubassmastajoe:
I agree with you, but I can see how some people would like the use of an all in one odin. Especially if they're uncomfortable using CWM and worrying about disabling voodoo, having the correct kernel/radio, etc. I don't see a need for me personally but I can see it being useful for inexperienced users especially

I, for one, would use both. Sometimes I settle on a rom for a while and feel like starting totally fresh.

[Fascinate General] RacerXFD:
Odin is a low level tool for samsung. It's not typically what the android users use to flash roms.

The problem with odin is that it can destroy a phone much more effectively than cwm/recovery. It's dangerous. Just one wrong setting can make your phone boot up with an att logo with you calling verizon for a new phone. Just safer to use cwm.
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
I dont like the idea of using Odin more than needed. It just cries break me!

That and flashing system in Odin seems to trigger a data reset.
[Fascinate General] ziggy484:
Your obviously missing the point, the di01 odin is used for recovering from a brick (for the most part)... were talking about all the cool roms being available in odin form instead of only cw

droidxcon on android central puts together odin packages of all adrynalynes roms.
[Fascinate General] Mean Sixteen:
One thing I am still wondering.

Would using Odin to flash a rom package pose a benefit of starting from scratch with no residual data/info left from previous setup?

Sent through mental telepathy.
[Fascinate General] ludionis:
I may be way off in left field, but Odin seems to be akin to using Ghost imaging softwares. The 2 major downsides to Odin have already been mentioned: requirement of a computer/cable/usb drivers, and the potential to break if you hit the wrong option. Otherwise, good brick recovery.
[Fascinate General] times_infinity:
Creating odin packages is kinda time consuming. since you have to go complete stock. and I mean COMPLETE stock. Flash the custom rom and kernel, dump the system partition, which usually ends up being around 300MB. and then you have to package everything into a .tar file and embed the MD5 sum. and uploading a 300+ MB tar takes a whiles longer than a ~130+ MB zip. flashable zips and the Odin tars each have their benefits. But packaging an AIO for EVERY rom release seems a little too much to me.

[A7 General] StarBriteK:
After spending much of the past 24 hours trying to install both eLocity's latest firmware update (from 2/24/11) and DexMod 1.3 (so I can utilize Android Marketplace) I am probably going to give up and return my A7 to the retailer before my 30 days are up. Thank you to Dexter and everyone else who posted such informative and useful instructions on the A7 forum. I am perplexed as to why I was not successful in accomplishing the update and modification. I really do like the A7 and hate to return it, but whats the sense of owning a Android device if you can't utilize the Marketplace. Duh! I would even be willing to pay a nominal fee to a honest, tech-savvy individual to modify/update my A7 for me. Thanks again everyone, looks like I'll be shopping for a tablet thats a little more user-friendly.:confused:
[A7 General] 5[Strogino]:
Just my 2 cents... There is not eLocity (Stream TV Network) problem

Google denied Market at some tablets. G considered that their OS version 2.X is not compatible with tablets.

These tablets do not have Market "out-of-box":

Viewsonic G Tablet

Malata ZPad

Advent Vega

Archos (all versions)

etc...

Idk why Galaxy Tab has market "out-of-box". May be Samsung proved Google that it's big phone)))
[A7 General] tumpy:
Try nameing the file Update. Do not add the.dot zip, holding down the power button until the third line of text is seen then release will get you into program mode.. selling a tegra tablet to get anything other than another tegra is like going backwards...

[A7 General] sdialect31:
I'm enjoying my A7 but, I do have to give a certain amount of blame to Stream for the lack of user friendliness the device presents. There are all sorts of documentation out there for companies to reference when designing an Android device, giving them an outline of what will work. The choice to implement a code structure or hardware features that do not work or require a work-around is directly the fault of Stream, as testing should have revealed the issues.

Take a look at how long Dexter has been working on the mod many of us are using, the feedback people give after putting it through the "real world" challenge and then the subsequent updates from Dexter...if Stream did the testing and verifications on this product from concept to creation to now...someone needs to be fired or doesn't care. Without detracting from Dexter's efforts or anyone else contributing on this board but, if the customer base can put so many fixes in place:Why can't the OEM? Why are they so slow in comparison on responses? Why don't their updates fix the most common issues? How did they allow themselves to release a tablet without a proper OS and fail to do better funtionality testing?

I'm glad their are folks like Dexter out here and forums like XDA otherwise decent hardware like this would allow companies to seperate us from our dollars on inflated claims of fuctionality and force us to jump through hoops to get a remedy.

[A7 General] hudd333:
A7 Towel

Here are some quick things to know/try that work for me -

1. SD card must be formatted as FAT format, FAT32 is fine

2. Mod file is named update.zip in sd card, do not put it in any folder in the SD card

3. When you are powered down, if you hold the power button in for about 15 seconds and then release and then hold in again for a few seconds you will see, hold in for another 5 seconds to go to boot menu, immediately hold in for another 5 seconds and then release, you should see a android character, tap on home icon on right and it should go into a boot menu

4. Use the buttons on the tablet (home, etc on the right) to page down and up the list of selections. Top 2 buttons on the right are up and down. Second to bottom icon is select.

5. Scroll to "apply sdcard:update.zip"

6. Select that option (second to bottom icon on right of screen)

it should now apply the update.zip on your sd card. It could take a while.

If there are any errors then the update.zip file may be corrupted. All updates are over 90MB in size except for the patch that Dexter sent recently which is around 3MB.

Let us know if this works.
[A7 General] StarBriteK:
Thanks for the responses

I have done several times the instructions some of you have responded back with and watched several posts on YouTube also. Yes my card is formatted to Fat32 and yes I used a capital U on Update.zip. I have followed the instructions to a "t" for installing DexMod and Elocity's own instructions on their website in regards to the 2/24/11 update. My A7 simply would not recognize and open the SD card file and would then abort the program. I'm simply at a point where how much more of my time do I want to spend spinning my wheels on the A7 tablet in order to have access to the Android Marketplace. Thanks again everyone.:confused:
[A7 General] StarBriteK:
Please see my response at bottom.
[A7 General] hudd333:
A7 issue

sorry to hear that. I suspect your update.zip file is probably not being recognized as a zip file. mine is named update.zip, no uppercase anything. Sometimes there can be a hidden extension of another .zip so the system sees it as update.zip.zip

I downloaded the mod and renamed mine on my pc and then copied it directly to the microsd card. Sorry to hear about the time its taken you so far. As I said earlier I would be happy to work with you if you wish.
[A7 General] sjpn:
just to clarify, you can't really install the latest feb 24 update from elocity AND dexters elocitymod rom. Unless, that is, you take the mods that dexter has done and apply them to the latest elocity update and regression test it, debug it, etc... elocity did a fair job of putting out a cheap android tablet. they made some sacrifices on the hardware side - no multitouch and no hi res screen, but for the price, it's hard to beat. and dexter's mod makes the a7 infinitely more useful. have you tried other microsd cards? you can get cheap 2gb and 4gb ones at target or bestbuy. if those don't work, you can just return them. lots of people have been using dexter's elocitymod successfully. without it, i probably would have returned the a7 also. if you're looking for something a bit more polished, get ready to spend a bit more. samsung galaxy tab goes for about $600-$800 motorola xoom about the same price as well.

Same problem adding Dexter Mod

I've just got the A7 and I'm following the threads about the Dexter Mod. I'm a little confused about 1- what to name the file...some say with a capital U and some not...2- with or without .zip...again same thing 3- can you use the 1.2 Mod after Elocity's latest firware update...the reason I ask this is because the link for 1.3 is down and I do have 1.2 on my pc for some reason.

On my sdcard it doesn't have a directory "ROOT" do i just copy it to the open card. So may questions...sorry about that, been at it for 3 hours and no success. Have to laugh tho....:D

BTW I have a file named LOST.DIR on the sdcard

The file when you download it is already in zip form. All you need to do is rename it to ( update ).

[A7 General] StarBriteK:
I'm sorry I opened such a can of worms on this subject for some "TECHNOLOGICALLY-ADVANCED" individuals who seem to have nothing better to do but respond with condescending remarks on this forum. FYI: I recently purchased a new Samsung Galaxy tablet on eBay for $360.00, hence my A7 has been shipped back to the retailer for a refund. I still think the A7 is a great device, I simply do not have the time to repeatedly attempt to update it so I can have access to the Android Marketplace, nor the patience to tolerate the attitude of certain posters to this forum. I thought the purpose for this forum was to help each other out on issues, not to repeatedly "Beat Dead Horses" which some individuals tend to be doing. Thanks again everyone and GOOD LUCK!
[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
You didn't open a can of worms, it was just a coincidence that the misinforming post that sent the fingers of fury flying happened to be on your thread. :) and trust me, I have plenty of better things to do, this is just filler.

Seems like you got a hell of a good deal on the G Tab, Congrats.

And yes, the point of a forum is to help other people, which I do. By correcting bad advice, and trying to get people to ask for and give help in a more collaborative way instead of the same questions being asked over and over again. I'm sorry if you find my presence on the internet grating, just be glad that you haven't had to endure my vocabulary in person (apparently it is pretty similar to that of a drunken sailor with tourette's syndrome with the same measure of sarcasm that I treat the net to)

Back at you on the good luck. Expecting a review on the g tab, pro's and con's vs the A7 hopefully

Just so everyone is aware, the kernel and the recovery partition signatures are checked on each boot, changing those will leave you with a brick, until we have proper firmware to recovery with.

Well that sucks..

any free partitions that we can "steal"? and basically pull a haret where it loads partially from legit bootloader and kernel, then shuffles off to a different partition we CAN write for the real kernel, unloads all that other stuff and then launches the new kernel partiion we've modified?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jimmydafish:
I guess that when we told you this, you just had to find out for yourself. The recovery should only be checked when you attempt to access it, but the kernel is checked on every boot. I hope you did not return to store as defective.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Athailias:
DG, thank you for putting yourself out there, and putting together roms along with the dev work.

Don't thank him for repeating something which had been confirmed.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] designgears:
So you told me it was checked every boot (first bold), but it should only be checked when you access it (second bold)? Confused, on drugs or what?

I just found out the hard way for you, it's checked every boot accessed or not.

If you want to be elitist and not post up a FAQ about what you know (do you even have an atrix), please stop posting in here, you've done nothing but spout off what you know about other moto devices, it is clear they tightened things down a bit more.

everything you guys say, along with others says it SHOULD be checked when accessed, which means I should have been able to boot normally and fail when I boot recovery.

You guys keep saying its CONFIRMED, where is it documented for the atrix. Tests performed with document results as proof.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jimmydafish:
What is being elitist by my statement? That before you started playing with your shiny new toy, we advised that doing certain things with your phone without proper firmware to restore your phone, WOULD result in a "soft brick".

I do not have a motorola ATRIX, never said I did, but I can read the firmware pretty well. If your offended by my post I assume it is because offered up my standard line of "hope you did not return it as defective", because nothing else in that statement should lead you behave like a child.

Here how about this for a Facts, my rom was the first to safely remove Blur from the Droid series of phones safely, after reading the firmware from your phone, and your deodexed version of the firmware there are many portions you could remove safely.

If you have questions you could ask and get the answers, but as it stands right now, we are just trying to help you save yourselves. Many people will enter these forums, and while each person is responsible for their own device, they will try to follow what you have done and they too will soft brick their phone. I'm not sure of your ethical and moral makeup but too many people return their manipulated device to the provider as defective causing every to pay for their mistake.

I just hope you bought another Atrix outright and did not scam ATT/Motorola.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mburris:
DesignGears,

Please don't let a claim-to-know-it-all self-righteous Prick like jimmydafish discourage your efforts.

As far as I'm concerned (and probably the majority of people who mash the refresh button on this subforum multiple times a day would agree) it's people like you (people who have actively contributed to the users here at XDA in the past (all your captivate work)), that make me feel lucky to own the same type of device that you and other dedicated devs like yourself own.

Its hard to imagine how someone who probably played a very small part on a team -- a team that, as far as I can tell, has never managed to actually produce any real results on the DX -- can know so much about a device he doesn't even own.

And if reading this post encourages members of any such team to get their panties in a wad and start talking about how they are not going to contribute here now, well then to that I say: good riddance. For every one small tip you may provide it seams like you offer two holier-than-thou-doughe-bag-comments that frankly this section of this forum could do without.

But again, thank you DesginGears and Devs like you

[Atrix 4G Android Development] mburris:
Maybe if more people softbricked and returned phones that have locked down bootloaders, oems and carriers might finally realize that when someone buys a piece of technology, they own it, and would like to use it as such.

That includes:

1. Not having some POS skin on top of stock android (Blur)

2. Not being locked into paying twice for the data we already pay for (tethering)

3. Not being allowed to easily install non-market apps that we develop without jumping through hoops (slide loading)

4. Not having to wait for the carrier or oem mfg to release an update before we can have a current version of Android.

Call it a Brick-n-Return Protest
